Magnetic core memory reborn

Welcome! You have arrived at a website dedicated to the lost art
of magnetic core memory manufacture. This site came about
following our success building an Arduino-based magnetic
core memory module.

Building a core memory shield was a
great learning experience and a lot of fun, so we thought it would
be worth writing up some details for anyone else who might like to
do something similar. As well as the report, we provide all the
resources (EAGLE files, gerber files, parts list, etc.) necessary
to build this Arduino shield.

We couldn’t resist the temptation to
publish our report on May 11th, 2011 — the 60th
anniversary of the original core memory patent. Although the
report contains everything you need to know to build the Arduino
shield, there is a lot more we would like to say about our
experience building the shield. We may one day post a more detailed
build log.

We hope you enjoy
reading about the core memory shield and would be delighted to
hear any feedback.
